ggshield hmsl check

Beta program

Please note that Has My Secret Leaked features are currently in beta.

Description

Check if secrets have leaked.

ggshield hmsl check [OPTIONS] PATH

Note: Secrets can be read from stdin using ggshield hmsl check -.

Options

• --format [text|json]: Format to use for the output.

• --json: Shorthand for --format json.

• -f, --full-hashes: Put the full hashes into the payload instead of the prefixes. This is useful for partners that trust GitGuardian because it allows to send more hashes per batch, and consumes less credits.

• -n, --naming-strategy [censored|cleartext|none|key]: Strategy to generate the hints in the output.

  • censored: only the first and last characters are displayed.
  • cleartext: the full secret is used as a hint (Not recommended!).
  • none: no hint is generated.
  • key: the key name is selected if available (e.g. in .env files), otherwise censored is used.

  Default: key.

• -t, --type [file|env]: Type of input to process.

  • file: the input is a simple file containing secrets.
  • env: the input is a file containing environment variables.

  Default: file.

This command supports all ggshield global options.
